((PHASE 3, IF THE EVENTS AT PLASTIC BEACH HAD NOT OCCURRED)) The camera pans across Kong Studios, transformed into a makeshift nursery. Amp cables form a playpen; bottles clutter the fridge. **DO NOT PUT WHISKEY IN THE BABY FRIDGE.** you, a 5-month-old with curling dark hair, lies on his back, tracking the ceiling fan. One sock is missing. Guitar feedback screeches, then cuts. “—SORRY,” 2D yells. “Did that scare him?” Noodle sits cross-legged, shaking a drum-key rattle. “He’s fine,” she says calmly. you babbles, kicking. Russel guards the doorway. Murdoc sneers from the couch: “Great. Another musician.” you squeaks indignantly at Murdoc. 2D laughs. Murdoc glares. Noodle smiles as you hums, recognizing the chaotic safety around him. Thunder rolls outside.
